The story that the President had opened
his heart to a prominent Senator and de-
clared that he would not be a candidate for
second term is promptly denied The Presi-
dent says he has made no declaration on the
subject The original tale lacked probability,
to say the least. When the President has
SO positive and important a conviction as
that and wants to make it known he will
probably make it known over his own sigma
ture. He will not tell it to Senator to be
told to newspaper reporter. Whether Mr..
Cleveland concludes to be candidate for
denomination will depend very much-on the
attitude of his party toward him year
hence. If his denomination is practically
assured, he will probably not take himself
out of the way, but if the dissatisfaction in
his party is such as to make his nomination
doubtful, it would not be strange if he
should discover that one term was all he
wanted.

The English sparrow is ia trouble. In
New York he has been delivered over to the
tender mercies of the cooks, with the result
that there is great mortality in his kind in
the great and hungry cities. In Albany they
bring about forty cents dozen, to go into
sparrow pie. The small boys are reaping a
harvest, eighty being not uncommon result
OF successful afternoons hunt But the
same bird that in New York has been classed
with the quail and pigeon, in Michigan is
reckoned among birds of more shady reputa
tion, like the crow and hawk. The Legisla-
ture, apparently with rashness that it will
repent, has offered bounty of cent for the
head of every sparrow brought in. This
legislative bounty, while hardly up to the
market prices in New York, is nevertheless
asteady thing and sure to be appreciated.
If the English sparrows do not pull more
dollars out of the Michigan treasury than
did ever the bears, wolves and catamounts,
1t will be because these savory birds have
not invaded the State in full force yet.

The London correspondent of the New
York Post says he has examined forty letters
of Mr.. Parnell, and they resemble one an
other in every particular, and differ from the
Times signature in five important points
Though there is little doubt that the letter
is a forgery, it has nevertheless alienated a
good many Liberals who were inclined to
vote against coercion, thus accomplishing
the purpose for which it was concocted.

the ecclesiastical bill, which contains some

The rights of woman are not so well Sc
cured in all States as in Maine. In the great
State of Pennsylvania, the married woman
is little better than slave so far as rights OF
property are concerned. Before married she
may transact business on her own account,
and in fact do anything in the way OF bust
ness that man may do. She may carry on
alarm, or factory, or bank or a shop, max
ing the usual contracts and agreements.
But no sooner does she marry than this
privilege passes from her. Her rights of
property pass to her husband. She becomes
an appendage, mere cipher, SO far as rights
OF property are concerned. But though late,
the Legislature has at last taken steps to
bring Pennsylvania abreast of her neighbors
in this respect. A bill now pending pro-
poses to recognize the right of q married
woman to do business on her own account.
to have and to hold property in her own
right exactly as she may do while single. and
in all respects to recognize the womanhood
of woman exactly as the manhood of man is
recognized under the law 1t is a little
strange that the Legislature of Pennsylya-
MIA, before it attempted to pass this bill.
should have given its attention to constitu-
tional amendment providing for woman suf-
frage.

The best means of putting down the liq-
-sser traffic are now studied in unexpected
places and under very different circumstan-
ces. The speaker of the Newfoundland AS
sembly has thrown the deciding vote against
a bill to prohibit absolutely the sale or man
ufacture of liquor on the Island. AT the
same time, far to the West, the governor of
Iowa is writing to the people of the State
Of Texas far to the South, that the expert
ment in Iowa has been success In So
out of the 80 counties of the State prohibition
is enforced, and in 10 counties it is partly
enforced. No property has been depreciat-
ed, the enforcement of the law has driven no
one from the State whom it was desirable to
retain, and the ''effects of prohibition upon
the general welfare and habits of the people
are decidedly good"

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
boston Transcript
In these days of lobbied legislation, the
action of the Legislature does not necessari-
lly reflect the public sentiment or the public
interest. But the overwhelming vote 100 to
35, by which the bill authorizing the pur-
chase of the Eastern Railroad and auxiliary
lines by the Boston IL Maine was rejected by
the House yesterday, might be taken as in
dicating that the pendulum is swinging the
other way. However, as it happens, there
has been doubt in the mind of the business
community as to the real desire of the Bos-
ton q Maine as distinguished from its APP
parent purpose. There is large and power
full combination whose manifest interest it
is to force the Boston g. Names hand and
compel 1t TO purchase Eastern common stock
at high figure. The Boston & Maine now
has the Eastern under its control by lease,
ON terms which entail comparatively small
burden Of expense, and its actual position
on the question Of consolidation is by no
means clear of mystery. The interesting
question is, What is the real feeling of the
Boston Maine management? That is to
be answered only by the parties themselves.
who cannot be blamed if they are not COM
municatiye. One popularity of the action of
the House was, that it sustained dissent
ing member against his colleagues of the
Railroad Committee.
